Weekly Trading

Hey guys, I'm a new member here. I just wanted to ask a question about becoming a trader at a small or large firm. I am not currently at a Top Ivy League university because i slacked off in high school, but i am doing well in college atm working on getting a business major in finance and computer science. I do go to a community college but will transfer to a public university sometime and if I can I have the chance to transfer to Duke University which is possibly a target school, my GPA is a 3.4, trying to increase it to a 3.8. I am just taking my time.

I am curious, if i have a track record is it possible to get into a trading firm? i have been trading cryptocurrencies which in some firms is unacceptable to there standards, they would prefer stocks, etc. I usually get about 10-50% a month, it ranges. During some days when the currency rises like crazy you can get upward of 80% to 160% but that's when the market decides to get a bull run, and i know some of you understand the risky nature of Crypto, but i love it!

Thanks guys and hopefully you can provide me with some positive feedback!
